Well my problem in the short term is this..... I own an irrigation company (started in 1987), this time of the year we start to close systems down for the year. We normally start around September 12-13th like clock work, we began Monday (9/16) 45 percent of our clients are asking mid October , its been so dry and these upper 80s we have been having in Southern NH is not helping me!
Based on our client list, and compressors we run, we cannot possibly get everyone done in a timely manner, so I have to tell them certain dates are booked solid, and I the owner, will work now 7 days a week into November, we are usually done this process by November 8 or 10th. Last season so much rain , they were begging us to close.
I just can't remember a dry spell like this in a long time, espically a September. So in short yes I would welcome rain, and if I can't get that drop the temps very soon.
